Got my first Redding body die....... I LIKEY!!

Got my first die for my most loaded calber....30-06. I can see how this is going to work really sweet with my lee collet die. I set it up to just bump the shoulder ever so little. Runnout is coming out under .001 on all cases and I know the neck tension will be really consistant. The other thing I did....and I know I shouldn't have... was that I had about 50 various loaded rounds to match a previous '06 I had been using. This ammo would not go into my new tikka 30-06 that has really nice and tight chamber dimensions. I was able to bump back the shoulders on that batch of ammo and salvage them for the tikka.
BAD NEWS THOUGH....this means more calibers are coming. Thank goodness so is Christmas!!!!

Hey kraky

Yeah the Lee Collet, Redding Body Die, RCBS Competition Seater and the Lee Factory Crimp are what I like to get in each caliber. Neck size till you have to push the shoulder back and then push it back .0015". No lube in the neck

I can't see doing it any other way now.
